Pro-Romney Super PAC Hauls in $20 Million

The main super PAC devoted to supporting Mitt Romney took in $20 million last month, a committee aide confirmed Monday. The total was more than three times the amount a similar group supporting President Barack Obama raised in June.

Restore Our Future, the political action committee run by former Romney aides, is just one of many groups supporting the GOP this election cycle. But its June haul, first reported by the Washington Post, could prove useful for Mr. Romney as he tries to combat Mr. Obama on the airwaves. The group raised $5 million in May, suggesting Mr. Romney’s wealthiest supporters are opening up their wallets for the general election. Super PACs, unlike campaigns, can receive checks for unlimited sums.

All sides agree that Republican outside groups are expected to raise vastly more money than their Democratic counterparts this election.
